Activities

Contact With History

Deep under the ground in Montreal lie traces of an Iroquoian village. Could it be Hochelaga as described by Jacques Cartier? In the exhibition Montreal – Points of View, students become familiar with how the Corn People and the People of the Birch lived. By analyzing archeological remains and historic artefacts, they discover how Montreal was a place of trade and contact between Aboriginal and European societies.
